UCLA

UCLA's return to prominence — at least in the first month of the season — is one of the surprising stories thus far. It was expected the Bruins would beat Rice and Houston, but the 36-30 victory over Nebraska on Sept. 8 was a stunner. UCLA shredded Nebraska's defense for 653 yards. The Bruins begin Pacific 12 play Saturday against Oregon State at the Rose Bowl.
